Workout

Can anyone recommend any home workout apps/videos? Trying to shift baby weight. I go swimming and walking everyday but need something for when my kids are (hopefully) napping 😂

Traveling to Spain

Hi everyone. Im traveling to Spain next week and ive just read about the new rule they have introduced at border control where they can stop you and ask for proof of your financial situation?! I've read online that you have to prove you have more than £1000 in your bank account to fund your stay or you can be refused entry.. its random spot checks apparently. Has anyone else come across this? As a mum of 4 who has saved hard for a family holiday im not sure I'll have this money avaliable after bills next week. I work part time and have only just come off maternity leave🥺 panicking ....

Pregnancy is so humbling - vibrator edition

Had a bit of fun last night and wound up in triage because I was bleeding and had cramps.. I keep explaining 'I didn't have sex - just an orgasm' I've never seen a dr so confused. 'How did you achieve this orgasm?' My response 'A vibrator, which i also inserted inside. I've never had an issues with sex or bleeding - this is the first time' she looked at me like I had grown an extra head..

I didn't realise self pleasure ceast to exist whilst pregnant. I'm genuinely mortified..

I explained all this when I called - I wasn't overly concerned but better to be safe than sorry. The midwives were great about it but the Dr was .. I'm so embarrassed

Exercise

I’ve just turned 12 weeks pregnant with my first baby, and I’ll be honest I’m not a very active person and always been a healthy weight.

I’m just wondering if I’ve now left it too late to start going for walks, doing pelvic floor exercises as I’ve never done them before.

Is it okay to start now?

Nothing to talk about since becoming a mum (apart from my child)

Does anyone else feel like they have nothing to talk about since becoming a mum? I don't work and my child is 18 months so every day is spent with her. I go to a craft club once a week in the evening and I am also expecting a second child so don't have loads of energy to socilalise or even a big friendship circle. I'm generally happy with my life but I feel like when I get together with friends I have nothing to talk about with them apart from my child. Does anyone else feel like this?

sex drive higher than your partners

I’ve never really questioned this much, but I’m starting to feel alone in this and wondering if others are experiencing this too.
my sex drive is higher than my male partners. Its been like this since Ive gotten pregnant with my first, (i have 1 kid and two tots)
I can go everyday, twice a day.. its the way i relax, release, it gives me the best sleep, morning sex gives me a perky start… i also cosleep with two of three kids.. and he sleeps with the other. we have been sleeping in seperate rooms for 3 years now. and the sex just gets better and better. the orgasms have gotten better, more frequent. it’s just great! lol
He cannot keep up. he is like once a week mayb once every 10 daysish. ive been told female sex drive increases in their 30s while males decreases.
Am I alone?!

For mums who enjoy hanging out with their children.

I’m just curious, but what’s the feeling you get when you hang out/spend time with your child/children.

Because I’ve never enjoy hanging out with my child. I’m with him 24/8 so doing something with him or hanging out with him just seems like an extra chore on top off doing EVERYTHING. (I’m a single parent)

Just want to say I love my son to bits &feel guilty I feel this way & I wish I had whatever feeling you get hanging out/spending time with your children.
